I admire his grit. He's just not fast enough the longer they go. He staggered home in the BC. On Saturday, he has an inside draw and I see some others in here that jump up. I'm really liking Dewey Square. He's ready for a big move forward for his 3YO bow.

That graphic on their site can be misleading because it factors in the one-turn mile dirt races with a very long run into the turn and lumps them in as exactly the same as 8.5f races around two turns with a very short run into the first turn.

Brian, that is actually a great point. Not sure why the site cannot be more specific.

Totally agree, but it probably something to do with the way they pull the data from a central database.

At a place like Santa Anita, it doesn't much matter -- anything over a mile is around two turns, so the sample is consistent. But at places with a one-turn mile (including what I think we see at Arlington), those mile races seem to play out much more like long-distance sprints than they do true route races.

Rosie Napravnik: 'I had a dream of winning the Derby on Shanghai Bobby'

What was interesting was this:

""I'm really, really worried about how it's going to turn out. It could take a negative turn at any point," says Napravnik, referring to an article about her due to be published in a major New York magazine. The interview, she believes, fared badly, and she's concerned that she'll be portrayed in an unflattering light."

Itsmyluckyday was more than just lucky, he ran a hell of a fast race. 1:35:1 is a fast ass mile and looking at the charts, he set a new track record for 1 1/16 at Gulfstream. I see the last track record was set in 2012 and 1 1/16 mile may not be run often, so it may not be that significant but 3 year olds setting records is nice to see. Shanghai Bobby set the pace up nicely for IMLD and Elvis gave him a heck of a nice ride. Congratulations to the winner.

Trainer Rusty is cutting back on two year olds accomplishmnets that bad? It would be nice to see a full season of the three year old's compete , and not dropping by the way side by mid summer! Just my thought.

Havent read anything bout the plans for him post race but SB will probaly need a rocket up his a$$ to win at anything further than a mile and a sixteenth. Hopefully they do the right thing by the horse which im sure they will. Nothing wrong with being a top horse at a mile or <! trinniberg as we all know had no biz being in the derby last year went on to win the BC sprint
